1010975 - switch to simple-query-string

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1100394

(support.mozilla.org :: Search, defect)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

A month or so ago, they upgraded our Elasticsearch cluster from 0.20.something to 0.90.10. This allows us to switch to simple-query-string.

This bug covers figuring out if we can switch Kitsune to use simple-query-string instead of text and text-phrase queries.

Possible technical complications:

1. does simple-query-string work with our analyzers?

2. are we doing other kinds of queries than text and text-phrase like prefix? if so, then we might need to ditch those. if we do, how does that affect results?

3. should we use simple-query-string for both basic and advanced search? is the results what users would expect?

Another option is to switch to the query parser I wrote for Input and extend that with the additional things we need.

Bug #986589 covered switching Input searches to simple-query-string.

We've implemented this for Advanced Search.
